Not great for sleeping at night.<br /><br />Joanne - isn't it great to have all these Heyer novels? I'm collecting them like a fiend. I'm planning to box them up for my daughter so she'll never know the tragedy of not being able to find the next Heyer novel(snif!).Amanda Foresterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985238568270688021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-3041369155034479892010-07-16T01:37:41.883-04:002010-07-16T01:37:41.883-04:00Danielle - I loved Cotillion so much that I loaned...Danielle - I loved Cotillion so much that I loaned it to a friend, then wanted to read it again so I bought myself another copy! Other than Austen, I think Heyer is the only author I have read more than once.<br /><br />Robin - my hat is off to you! If I tried to read and walk at the same time I'd end up in traction!<br /><br />Sharon - Heyer's humorous regencies are a great place to start. I loved Cotillion (see above for proof!). The Corinthian is another of my favorites - crazy tangled plot and dialog that is fantastic - if only I could write like that!Amanda Foresterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985238568270688021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-43381139737009193482010-07-16T01:28:54.101-04:002010-07-16T01:28:54.101-04:00Terry - it's fun to read a mix of things - but...Terry - it's fun to read a mix of things - but a vampire story without romance??<br /><br />Jessica - J.D.

A bunch of us met last year & it was common among us that we choose purses that have a compartment for a book.<br />My son thinks I'm nuts but I say I'm never bored waiting in line anywhere. <br />Just finshed Fatal Affair by Marie Force which I loved. I'm loving Exorcising Sean's Ghost by Beth Kery. Looking forward to Into the Crossfire by Lisa Marie Rice, Black Magic by Cherry Adair & Hot Finish by Erin McCarthy.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-67920455397553111442010-07-15T15:41:06.601-04:002010-07-15T15:41:06.601-04:00I'm reading Maid to Match by Deeanne Gist righ...I'm reading Maid to Match by Deeanne Gist right now.

Back then (in the olden days - yeesh), they were all out of print and we didn't have the internet where you can get that kind of thing easily - so it was a real thrill when you found one!Joanne Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842031719126899384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-55008948716261069732010-07-15T13:06:40.100-04:002010-07-15T13:06:40.100-04:00Hey Robin--The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley will...Hey Robin--The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley will be out in December of this year :)Danielle Jackson Dresserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293766728921704640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-75899781783722433902010-07-15T12:17:26.439-04:002010-07-15T12:17:26.439-04:00I've never read Georgette Heyer, but I'm s...I've never read Georgette Heyer, but I'm sure I'd love her work. My to-be-read shelf is already overflowing, but what's a dozen more?<br /><br />I read everyday, but only a few pages at a time. I don't know how long it's been since I read a book from start to finish in one sitting. Oh wait, yes, I do. It was when Harry Potter 7 arrived in my mailbox. That's been a while.<br /><br />Reading definitely brings happiness.Olivia Cunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753928523364721582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-19892406305858344282010-07-15T11:55:32.384-04:002010-07-15T11:55:32.384-04:00Interesting read!

My guilty pleasure is reading books where the snooty uptight guy turns into a charming suave gentleman. :-P<br />The next on my must read list is a book by Lauren Dane.<br /><br />On a separate note, I read on BooksOnBoard that Lauren Dane is going to be chatting on their Facebook wall live on Friday! That is awesome!

I'm one of seven children so we didn't travel a lot. But I could travel anywhere I wanted by reading a book and I did. I loved it then and I love it now! <br /><br />I just read a friend's book that had a demon, a witch and an incubus in it. After I finished, I thought "I'm not sure I wanted to go there!"<br /><br />AmeliaAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603588884175706382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-72523851509828260382010-07-15T10:45:07.062-04:002010-07-15T10:45:07.062-04:00Reading has always been one of the greatest source...Reading has always been one of the greatest sources of pleasure for me too. Sadly I don't have as much time either, and have to say that is probably the biggest draw back to adding writing into my already busy life. *sigh At least the books will always be there waiting for me. Such as Heyer. I have yet to read one of her books and know that I should. Maybe that would be a good Kindle add for my upcoming vacation! Which one would you suggest I start with?Sharon Lathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539439531975181469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-82505930144297589922010-07-15T10:01:38.356-04:002010-07-15T10:01:38.356-04:00Amanda~

I read while I cook, I'll be stirring the pasta with one hand and holding a book in the other, if I'm in line at the grocery store, I have my book with me. I'm known in my neighborhood as the book lady. I used to wait for my daughter's bus and would be reading while I waited morning and afternoon. <br /><br />Right now I'm doing something I almost never do--I'm re-reading a book. It's <b>The Winter Sea</b> by Susanna Kearsley. Sourcebooks will be releasing it for the US...Hmm...I'm not sure when, but I know they will and it's fabulous! I read it a year and a half ago and it's stayed with me all this time. I was going to bring my copy down to my Mom to read, but I honestly don't want to give it up. I thought I better re-read it before I lend out--even to my mother.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-52463684594941630912010-07-15T09:06:18.733-04:002010-07-15T09:06:18.733-04:00Look at all of those lovely Sourcebooks Heyer edit...Look at all of those lovely Sourcebooks Heyer editions! I'm slowly making my way through them, but I tell ya, I am in LOVE with what the art department has done with them. And we'll be releasing more of Heyer's regency romances in Spring '11!! Cotillion was the first I had read and it holds a special place in my heart. I just started reading her mysteries, too, and they are wonderful!<br /><br />Enjoy your summer reading :-)Danielle Jackson Dresserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293766728921704640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-6249511404683311552010-07-15T08:13:22.881-04:002010-07-15T08:13:22.881-04:00I've been reading Georgette Heyer all my life ...I've been reading Georgette Heyer all my life and have even worn out copies of my personal favorites.

Robb, I 'discovered' her about a month ago. I have quite a few authors that I keep tabs on, Terry Spear, Cheryl Brooks, Kendra Leigh Castle, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lora Leigh, Kate Douglas and too many more to name here. And yes you are one I keep an eye out for.

I'm reading a lot of different stuff--between contemporary romance, a vampire...hmmm, don't think it's a romance, at least not yet and I'm on cd #4 so far--although I keep waiting for the romance to come into the picture--<i>sigh</i>, and historical romances. I'm eclectic, you see. And of course, I read wolf stuff. The real stories about real wolves. :) Have fun reading!Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.com
